Why are photos sent with text messsage square?

Recently all photos I send with text messages appear square. They are cut off at the top. When I view them in my photo stream they are rectangular. I do not use the square option on the camera.
The only way I have been able to fix the problem is to go to the photo I want to use, edit it and crop to a rectangular aperture. What a pain! Hope someone can help me with this. Please!
Thanks!!

Thanks for your response. I appreciate your suggestions.
The recipient gets the truncated version as well.
It's not the end of the world, but it does bug me that I can't figure out the cause.

Why are photos e mailled to me not coming through to my icloud.com e mail?

You may also want to check your space available as you only get 5GB free. It's unlikely that this is what you are experiencing, but it can certainly cause you not to receive any emails that don't fit.

Updated to iOS 5 and now photos sent with text message show as sent, but are not received to an iPhone that has not been updated.

Updated to iOS 5 and tried sending a message with a phot to an iPhone that has not been updated. My message shows as sent, but neither the text or photo are received. Text alone works fine.

This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

Why are .jpg files with text pixelated when projecting through Keynote?

I have a police report that I'm trying to project through Keynote as part of a larger presentation. It projects beautifully if I just mirror the screen, but for purposes of the presentation I have to use Keynote and can't switch back and forth. The text is so pixelated it's unusable and I've tried scanning at high resolution, but no luck. I'm confused about it projecting fine when not going through Keynote, so I feel like there's maybe a setting in the software I'm missing.
Any ideas?

The text is so pixelated it's unusable
The resolution of the projector will be much lower than the display connected to the Mac.
Therefore, with the projector connected and powered on, open System Preferences > Displays, in the settings window for the projector, select scaled option and set to the highest pixel size listed.
I've tried scanning at high resolution, but no luck.
You have scanned a paper document?
Then scan to at least 1200 x 800 pixels, do not use a dpi or ppi setting in the scan software, use pixels, then save as a TIFF file.
I'm confused about it projecting fine when not going through Keynote, so I feel like there's maybe a setting in the software I'm missing.
Set the slide size in: Inspector > Document > Document > Slide Size; use custom from the drop down menu and enter 1280 x 800
The inspector is the side panel on the right hand side

How do I move photos sent with a text message to my computer?

Save it, then import it to your computer.
The manual answers your questions. Maybe you should have a look:

My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work.

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac" maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well. I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

TS2755 iPhone 5 can not open photos sent via text

My iPhone 5 will no longer open photos sent via text message or iMessages. It just says loading and never actually loads. I have to save the photo to my camera roll in order to view it

Hello bostongreedy,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I would be concerned as well if I wasn't able to view the images that were sent to me in Messages. I found some steps that might help with this:
If you still can't send or receive MMS messages
To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
Before you restore your iPhone in step 4, be sure to back up your iPhone. You can find the steps to do that here:
iOS: How to back up

I hope this helps get you back on track!
All the best,

Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg? Can this be corrected?

Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg? Can this be corrected? In certain applications I have to manually change the ending so that the application can open the photo. Is there a setting to control to correct this?

When I mail photos (via GMail) from my iPhone they are received on my PC as .jpg files, even if sent at full resolution. Perhaps your e-mail service has imposed an attachment size limit, and in the process scales the attached picture down and alters the file extension?
What happens if you e-mail a photo from your iPhone and open the message from a PC instead of the Surface? What e-mail service are you using? (e.g. your ISP's service, or Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud, etc.) When you send the photo from your iPhone, are you selecting a reduced resolution?

Why are some sort order texts goasted rather then solid black?

To all and anyone
The subject says it all...
Why are some sort order texts ghosted rather then solid black?
Thanks!
Fred

The ghosted/grayed values correspond with auto sorting. Auto sorting drops the leading articles, a/an/the, and variations in other languages, so that for example, The Beatles sorts as Beatles under B unless you explicitly override the auto sort by putting The Beatles in the sort value so that it sorts under T.

Why are photos again available on the fotostream even that I have deleted them?

Hi,
why are photos again available on the Fotostream, even that I have deleted them with using an iphone?

Hi Ghallsa,
I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all. I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space. You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails. There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind. But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage. This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less. It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
good luck,

Are photos saved with their original filenames?

1) Are photos saved with their original filenames?
2) Can we view Filenames of saved photos in ipad?
Thanks.
(p.s. I am talking about Pictures saved from websites during browsing on ipad).

Both iCloud and iTunes backup included all the photos in the iPod Camera Roll album.

On apple tv why are photos too large on slideshow

I set up album in my iphoto,
selected it on apple tv
why are some photos too large and chopping off top of photos?

When you first sync photos to your iPod, or everytime you add new photos, iTunes goes through a process of optimizing your photos for the iPod before actually sync'ing. You can see it countdown on the screen. The results are kept in the "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
I was under the impression that this optimizing was more a process of collecting together 25 thumbnails and putting them together in a single file together so that it enabled the ipod to show 25 pictures at once with the option to select one.. Are you sure the thumbnails are actually altered in any way.

Are photos sent in a Direct Connection logged anywhere in the computer?

I closed the instant message before i was able to save the photo. Are these logged anywhere - i realize this is different from sending a file, but shouldn't there be a cache of the photo somewhere?

Hi,
As Niel says any Saved Chat in ~/Documents/iChats will show any Pictures that were sent with it.
However to "Save" it to work on it it has to be dragged to the Desktop whilst the chat is Live (or at least the Window not closed).
It is more difficult to get usable pic from the saved Chat even though resizing the chat window will continue to resize the Pic (as much as your Screen allows in some cases). (Sometimes Dragging it to the desktop works other times it does not).

Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
Any ideas/advice?

Thanks for your comments.
I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.
